Horse And Cart
Snuff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's dreaming of a distant star
She's dreaming of a happy marriage
Living a world apart
But living on different planets
He's praying for a moonlit night
She's waiting for a sunlit morning
Trying to get the forecast right
(Sometimes sadly mistaken) wide of the mark
(Mistaken) No second chance
(Mistaken) Round in circles in the dark
Seems like it's time to guess again

She's taken him for a ride
Too soon he believes her
He said it was below the mark
She said it was a misdemeanor
He said it was a bridge too far




She said it was a step to learning
Pouring over maps & charts

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Snuff's song Horse And Cart tell the story of two people who are dreaming and hoping for different things, unable to understand each other fully. The first verse shows that the two individuals have different goals and aspirations. One is dreaming of a distant star like a far-off goal or ambition, while the other's dream is more immediate and grounded, hoping for a happy marriage. They live in different worlds, and their priorities are different.


The second verse reflects both the hope and uncertainty of their situation. One is praying for a moonlit night like hoping for the right setting, timing, and conditions to fulfill their dream, while the other is waiting for a regular, everyday dawn. They are trying to get the forecast right, but they're likely to make mistakes. The chorus reflects the fact that they are missing each other along the way. Sometimes they're sadly mistaken, wide of the mark with no second chance, going round in circles in the dark. However, they seem to be poised to make another guess, another attempt to connect and understand each other.
